Roger Bash became a builder at a very young age. “I refer to it as a calling, the manifestations of which littered the woods around my parent’s home. With the three-fold advantages of a mechanical mind, an ease with geometry and early training in the disciplines of mechanical drawing and theatrical set construction, the stage was literally set for a lifelong career and passion for building.”

His early enthusiasm provided both tools and perspective. When Roger arrived at the University of Lyon, France, he fell in love with the history and romance of the medieval master builders and the monuments they created. Once he returned home to the U.S. to complete his degree, he spent many hours in the sculpture studio continuing his studies in design and building. A subsequent move to the Bay Area provided still more opportunities to study wood, stone carving, cabinetmaking and carpentry and with it, the desire to create a company that could provide a marriage of skills with tasteful design sensibility.
